The striking thing about this morning's ad from the RNC's independent arm was that it appeared to be campaigning against the bailout legislation, and seeking to link the apparently unpopular bill to Obama.

It's a sad day in America when a voter is not allowed to ask a potential vice-president a serious question about our national security. What the hell is going on?!?! Don't they know that we are the one's that vote them in. Therefore we can ask all the damn questions we want and if you can't answer or don't have an answer we judge you accordingly by not voting for you.

Andrea Mitchell, NBC Reporter
MSNBC's Morning Joe
Andrea Mitchell said on MSNBC's Morning Joe that former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich,, worked very hard behind the scenes to kill the bailout plan, despite issuing a statement that he would have supported the legislation if where still in Congress
Mitchell Said:
"I am told reliably by leading Republicans who are close to him. He was whipping against this up until the last minute.... Newt Gingrich was telling people in the strongest possible language that this was a terrible deal, not only that it was a terrible deal., that it was a disaster it was the end of democracy as we know it that it was socialism, and then at the last minute comes out with a statement when the vote was already in play"
(More GOP, spin, lies and hypocrisy!)

The messages are mixed because Republican "philosophy" isn't equipped to handle this kind of economic problem. So Republicans are left without a compass or working knowledge of the available sails/rudders.

If this is a three hour tour, Bush is Thurston Howell, McCain the skipper, and Palin is their "little buddy."

The problem has been McCain's mixed messages from the beginning. A number of posters on these threads yesterday seemed to believe McCain had been against this legislation. Its not true. Both candidates were for it. Everyone was for it, but no one liked it, and no one wanted to touch it. Many in Congress thought, "as long as it passes, I can vote my conscience (i.e. save my *ss), and no harm is done." In the end, though, too many members voted this way. If McCain had made his support clear and explained why it was a necessary bill, his party may have gone for it.

As the congress was toiling to get the bill together for paassage on Saturday night: Senator Obama at the Black Congressional Caucus Gala were planning it's demise over bankruptcy pork. Come on fellas, we cant win with stalling the economy.

the RNC, the GOP, Republicans, Hate Radio and Faux News and McCain himself can continue to blame Obama for everything that has gone wrong in the last 8 years because he is related to Bush and Bushis f@cking up to help is cousin Obama

I agree with "Concerned Citizen". It is a damn shame that with cant talk to Joe the Gaffer. Could you imagine him in a town hall meeting. Talk about getting off in left field. I would love to just ask him one question: "What is your response to The Catholic Bishops that have come out against your stance for abortion. Basically excommunicating you?"

Those mixed messages would explain why half the right-wing posters on the blog today are praising McCain for standing up against the bailout, and the other half are praising him for his leadership in trying to get the bailout passed.

Whatever. McCain is so desperate. Anyone can see through this crap. He's a maverick, blah, blah, blah, all while his Party tries to hit Obama. They wish. Get a life John, it's over. Do what you said you would, run a decent campaign and then you can go back home to Arizona come November.

Hi, all! Just stopped by to see if these blogs still have activity in this no-brainer election. OH! I see that they do. I would find that fact quite remarkable, but, I guess, the Republicans need to vent their frustrations somewhere.

Where was John McCain last week? Did he reach across the aisle then? Did he state where he stood on the plan? NO! He did not lead! He sat in his house in Arlington and went on a double-date in DuPont Circle while everything fell apart and now he is taking the position Obama has held since the beginning. Once again, McCain is following Obama's lead.

From what I can see most of the "working class" Americans do not care about the economy. They will only care when more homes are foreclosed, they loose their jobs and there is a run on the banks. To all of the white working class voters who don not care about the severity of this... THANKS FOR VOTING YOUR BEER BUDDY AS PRESIDENT! I do not believe this group will understand this crisis until they are personally effected in the harshest way possible. Until then they will just be against the black guy! All of tis HUB BUB is POINTLESS!

Call it what ever you want it stinks.The CEO who caused this will still get a hugh amount of money for there bad behavior because of a loophole in the bill.The over sight board will have people on it that caused this problem to being with.I say HELL NO to this version of the bill.Go back to drawing board.

Why does Congress call it a MUDD sandwich and repeats it over over a Mudd sandwich---interesting---sending a strong statement to each other???? Do they know the root of the problem crises???? Well I found this on another poster message---Daniel Mudd---a Republican who supported Bush/Cheney/McCain took over as ""HEAD"" of Fannie Mae in --2005--to clean it up ( so it says) Instead he -Divided Heavily- into ALT-A ( now also bailout interesting) creating Huge Demand for the Securities which graudulent originators responded to by Crediting more---LIARS LOANS----Reported now McCain --Rick Davis--McCain advisor got paid $35,000 a MONTH and on top of that another $15,000 a month still receiving up to last month! Funny where the fire is you find McCain? McCain calls directly to whom President Bush also on a dime even today gets to talk directly???? Is this why Congress calls it --handing us a "MUDD" SANDWICH???? hMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

That's the repukes for you. They use every crisis this country faces as a way to divide the American people. Newt Ghingrich killed this bill. Who knew that after all of this time he was still the leader of the GOP.

Boy he just give me ammunition over and over again-McCain is a reactionary person and without thought puts this ad out and believes he is the Maverick and then the bill failed. Doesn't think about consequences at all!

Look, this is a complicated bill. We are talking about a serious crisis. I don't like McCain but he did make a good point by naming it rescue-but it is a little too late because we went into this calling it a bailout and that is now embedded in peoples mind. As for McCain, he will change his mind here in a few minutes to curve towards his election campaign. That is what is fun with McCain, he his always changing his mind and jumping many ships-

The GOP has been right from the beginning in saying that this crisis is far too serious to play politics. Then like the complete goobers they are they proceeded to play politics with it. Now it is biting them in the ass.
Face it,
Obama=Fonzie
Biden= Richie
McCain=Ralph Malph
Palin=Potsie.
Soon it will be Happy Days for us Dems!

We are all losers in this race, and every race in the country. The votes were for political cover not the concern for us the tax payers. We are forever being given false information by both parties and expected to go along regardless of the outcome. And no I hav no solution, because I simply work and try to do what is right by my family.
